I just want to be normal
foxandcolourJanuary 23, 2016
Today I just wanted to feel normal, so I splurged on corrective makeup and spent two hours in the bathroom. I took an unnatural amount of selfies and got pretty emotional. Am I totally weird?
Later I might write a wee review of the DermaBlend makeup by Vichy that I bought at Boots (after watching the tutorials and reading more I have found that there's a different Professional version of this brand to get a better result - or am I wrong? Have anyone of you tried? Thankful for input here.)
PS! It looks much better on the pictures (and far away) than in reality unfortunately. It is very thick and you can defintely see up close the layers of makeup. It is lightweigt though, so it's easy to wear. Was difficult to apply. The feeling of looking at youself in the mirror is however priceless.
All the best to you! I am more certain than ever that this thing needs to come off. Stay tuned for SK:N Clinic review after my consultation. Adding some details soon!

The dermablend looks great at least in the photos. I've been wanting to try it but worried about reviews I read that described the lightest colours as orangey. Which products did you use?
January 26, 2016
I tried dermablend but was orangey. I've found a really good coverup makeup is keromask. You can order a sample kit on Amazon. You need to order the kit in light. You get a small amount of loads of colours. Then you can order the one that suits. You then apply a powder to set it.

I'm sure everybody wants you to feel better. I don't know if it can be of any comfort for you but from the pictures you posted, I would guess your are a very good looking person, don't rush things whatever your final decision, take time to reflect and most importantly, don't be too hard on yourself and don't let any kind of guilt spoil the thing.

Was looking through this forum as I have a piece to cover up today. I hope you stop being so hard on yourself. The piece you have is beautiful. Enjoy the attention. Do not regret the piece you got. At the time, it was a decision that you made. When you look at your tattoo, think about how you were feeling when you got it. Every time you look at it, let it be a reminder of how happy you were. This is definitely not something to be ashamed of. You will only receive good feedback about this piece, because it is beautiful.
As time passes, I hope you realize that tattoo removal is just a long process that is usually ineffective. Costs a lot of money. I went through it. Don't be so anxious. It symbolizes the rebellious you.
You got this,
Connor

Going for a consultation tomorrow
foxandcolourJanuary 16, 2016
I can't really afford removal, nor do I want to start right now as I'm giving myself a year to contemplate my decision, but I'm going for a consultation tomorrow just to hear the voice and opinion of a professional. It's SK:N Clinic in Edinburgh. Anyone been there? They don't have Pico lasers, which I'm kind of looking for, but then I would need to go to Newcastle. Any thoughts? What should I definitely ask my professional at the consultation?

Hello sk:n clinic are ok but fade lasers in Dunbar is way better & they have a revlite laser xx

Hi! Thank you for this suggestion, I am now in contact with Fade Lasers. Their first impression is very good. I'll update this review ASAP after going to one of my consultations. I have been in touch with SK:N in Edinburgh, ProSkin in Newcastle and Fade Lasers Skin Aesthetics in Dunbar, waiting for my appointments to happen/be scheduled.

Hi there, here are some consultation questions that you may find helpful — I realize these are geared towards PicoSure, but they can be applied to any type of laser. Also, check this out:

Hang in there! The new lasers will work...it just takes time. There are plenty of us that have done the same thing! We're in the same boat :)
I've gone through tattoo removal and it is painful and costly. I had this silly little panda bear on my shoulder. Funny, what I thought was so adorable at age 22, became somewhat embarrassing at age 40. I have been through six treatments and still have a vague shadow of a panda bear on my shoulder. I now wish I had just covered it with something else.
Best of luck to you. I hope you come to a place of self-acceptance and pride. You are lovely - with and without body art!
